Introducing Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 127

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 127.

Do-Gooder Robot No. 127 also came through the portal with their pet, and I’ll tell you that my worries about having a dogbot around disappeared when I saw an octobot!

But I took a deep breath and asked some questions – I was mostly concerned about them getting started by our loud house, and dogbot, and leaving oily ink stains around; Robot No. 127 assured me that octobot was well trained – had to be so they could live on the ship!

I was also concerned whether they were rivals of Robot No. 44, Robot No. 58, and Robot No. 59 or not. Luckily, Robot No. 127 did know them, but they were friendly. I’ve learned that robot pirates are ab it less territorial and dramatic than our pirates here.

The joy they bring each other is palpable, and they were inspired to be Do-Gooders for the International Animal Welfare Fund.

Supermurgitroid Robot No. 127 is available on Threadless Artist Shop ! Join the Supermurgitroid family, where every robot has a story, and every story inspires change.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 159

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Robot No. 159.

Robot No. 159 burst through the portal the day they came. They loudly announced they were here and ready to take in all the arts. They had a tiny suitcase that was filled to the brim with art supplies, and they had so many questions about art and artists and many of the things they’d heard of before they came.

I shared my art history books with Robot No. 159 until we could get to a museum, which they devoured. Then at the museum, they were in awe, their eyes big, their gauges blooping and high-pitched.

Robot No. 159 started whispering to themselves about the inspiration, the colours, the feelings, the expressions, the textures, the mediums, the context, the subtext, the different perspectives, the horizon, the sunlight, and the sheer joy it all brings.

It brings me immense joy to share art with Robot No. 159.
